Help Me 2 Learn announces Language Arts Review 3a & 3b

mary | 17 October, 2007 08:24

Help Me 2 Learn is excited to announce that their recently released programs, Language Arts Review 3a - Advanced Level (School Version) & Language Arts Review 3b - Advanced Level II (School Version) have been awarded the iParenting Media Award for 2007.  Products submitted for this award are evaluated by a team of reviewers incorporating objective standards of measurement. Outside reviews were performed by a licensed childcare facility/school, an expert and a parent.
 
"It's an interest catching little program. We put it on thinking that it might be a bit too mature for our preference, but we soon found out it's not at all. There are so many features and choices for games and activities."  (iParenting Media Awards' Reviewer)
 
Language Arts Review 3a - Advanced Level (School Version) & Language Arts Review 3b - Advanced Level II (School Version) is great for students who are hard to motivate and who haven't mastered some of the basic language arts skills that everyone needs to be able to read fluently. They build important reading and reading comprehension skills that will last forever. These programs feature graphics especially suited to those students who are a little older, and are a great tool to help struggling students catch-up.
